Defender hints he may be at Stamford Bridge next year

Andreas Christensen has fallen out of favour at Chelsea in recent months, but isn’t giving up on his Blues career.

The Dane became a favourite of Antonio Conte last season, establishing himself in the starting lineup for the bulk of the campaign. Making 40 appearances, Christensen was tipped to follow up his breakout season under new boss Maurizio Sarri.

However, Sarri has not looked upon the central defender in the same way Conte did.

Limited to the Carabao Cup and Europa League, Sarri has preferred a centre-half duo of David Luiz and Antonio Rüdiger to one that included the 22-year-old.
